UK not delivering on Afghan pledge says ex-Army boss
A UK general who served in Afghanistan says the government should "feel deeply ashamed" after Afghans who worked with Nato were left in the country.
The Home Office previously said up to 20,000 Afghan nationals would be provided with a safe route to resettle in the UK. Gen McColl told BBC Two's Newsnight he believed "hundreds of Afghans who were eligible to come to the UK on the government's resettlement schemes are in hiding from the Taliban" over fears they would be killed for working with the British.
